Diving along the Cambrian Mountain road to Aberystwyth after a visit to the Elan Valley we came to this very picturesque scene (one of many along this road)....it took us longer than it should to complete our journey after so many stops
When in Scotland this June we did the drive from Cullen to Ullapool and had an over night stay so that I had the time to drive on from Ullapool to the Summer Isles and take our time .25 miles North out of Ullapool and you see the sign for the Summer Isles (A group of islands that sit of the coast with no access but a beautiful sight to see).So we turned left onto the road ,its about 15miles of undulating single track road with many passing places but you do have to careful of oncoming traffic .And I must say it was one of the most beautiful drives I have ever done ,from start to finish .Dramatic mountains and beautiful lochs.the mountain in shot is Cul Beag ,looks wonderful as the shadows of the clouds cross it and it over looks Loch Lurgainn
This traditional Dutch watermill, located in the quiet hamlet of Uppel-Althena, is a beautiful example of 17th-century rural engineering. Once powered by the steady stream of the Althena brook, it played a key role in local agriculture by grinding grain into flour for the surrounding villages. Though no longer in active use, it remains a well-preserved symbol of cultural heritage and craftsmanship, nestled in the peaceful Dutch countryside.

There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind
Perhaps there's a thing or two
I think of lying in bed
I shouldn't have said
But there it is
You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning
Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all
You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

š¶[Captain Kidd (Great Big Sea)] š¶
My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And most wickedly I did as I sailed
My father taught me well
To shun the gates of hell
But against him I rebelled as I sailed
He shoved a bible in my hand
But I left it in the sand
And I pulled away from land
As I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And most wickedly I did as I sailed
I murdered William Moore
And I left him in his gore
Twenty leagues away from shore
As I sailed
And being crueler still, the gunner I did kill
All his precious blood did spill
As I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And most wickedly I did as I sailed
I was sick and nigh to death
And I vowed at every breath
Oh to walk in wisdom's path
As I sailed
But my repentance lasted not
My vows I soon forgot
Oh damnation is my lot
As I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And most wickedly I did as I sailed
To the execution dock
Lay my head upon the block
Laws no more I'll mock as I sail
So take warning here and heed
To shun bad company
Or you'll wind up just like me
As I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
As I sailed, as I sailed
Oh my name is Captain Kidd as I sailed
My name is Captain Kidd
And God's laws I did forbid
And most wickedly I did as I sailed

In the foreground of this image, a lone horse grazes calmly on a patch of green ā a soft, living contrast against the rugged, multicolored hills that stretch endlessly into the background. This is the semi-desert region of Udabno, in eastern Georgia, just next to the David Gareja Monastery Complex, one of the countryās most remarkable religious and historical sites. The surreal, layered landscape behind the horse is known for its painted hills, formed by millennia of wind and erosion. Bands of red, ochre, and pale violet clay ripple across the slopes, creating an almost otherworldly backdrop ā a place where nature and history meet in silence. These hills are part of the Iori Plateau, which borders Azerbaijan and surrounds the ancient monastery carved into sandstone cliffs. David Gareja, founded in the 6th century by the monk David of Gareji, is not only a spiritual site but a testament to centuries of monastic life in extreme solitude. Monks once lived in rock-cut cells along these hillsides, far from towns and cities, their lives marked by simplicity, reflection, and the harsh beauty of the land. This photo captures that essence beautifully: a moment of stillness, a creature at peace in a vast and timeless terrain ā where faith, wilderness, and silence still linger in the wind.
A lone horse grazes peacefully in the foreground, framed by the softly rippling, multicolored hills near the David Gareja Monastery in eastern Georgia. This semi-desert landscape, shaped by centuries of erosion, creates a surreal backdrop of layered earth tones. Just beyond lies the ancient rock-hewn monastery ā a place of silence, faith, and deep solitude. The photo captures a rare stillness where nature and history quietly meet.
Op de voorgrond van deze foto graast een eenzaam paard rustig op een groen stuk grasland ā een levend, zacht contrast tegen de ruige, veelkleurige heuvels die zich golvend uitstrekken tot aan de horizon. Dit is de halfwoestijn van Udabno, in het oosten van GeorgiĆ«, op slechts enkele kilometers van het beroemde David Gareja-kloostercomplex, een van de meest bijzondere religieuze en historische plekken van het land. Het surrealistische landschap op de achtergrond staat bekend om zijn geschilderde heuvels, gevormd door miljoenen jaren van wind, regen en erosie. Lagen van rood, oker, roze en paars klei lopen als golfpatronen over de hellingen ā een bijna buitenaards decor dat stilte en tijdloosheid uitstraalt. Deze heuvels maken deel uit van het Iori-plateau, dat grenst aan Azerbeidzjan en het rotsachtige kloostercomplex omringt. Het David Gareja-klooster, in de 6e eeuw gesticht door de monnik David Garejeli, is niet alleen een religieus centrum, maar ook een indrukwekkend symbool van het monastieke leven in afzondering. Eeuwenlang leefden hier monniken in grotten die in de rotsen waren uitgehouwen ā ver van steden, in stilte, omringd door niets dan lucht, steen en geloof. Deze foto vangt dat gevoel op bijzondere wijze: een moment van rust, een dier in vrede met zijn omgeving, te midden van een landschap dat tijdloos, spiritueel en ongerept aanvoelt.

This is a restored windmill in North Kent, UK. The mill was originally built C 1805 at the other end of the village of West Kingsdown and was moved in 1879 to its present location adjacent to the A20. Following various changes of ownership the mill fell into disrepair. In 1957 the mill was taken over by KCC and was restored in 1960.

This is the remains of Bodiam Castle, with the ruins of the Barbican gatehouse to the left. The original wooden portcullis, an extremely rare example of its kind, can still be seen in the impressive main gatehouse to the right of the Barbican.
The castle was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge a soldier of fortune. At the time the castle gave the impression of impregnability but was also a very comfortable home set in beautifully landscaped grounds overlooking the Rother Valley. It's located at Bodiam, near Robertsbridge, East Sussex UK.

I love the look and feel of photographs shot on film, and it makes me a bit sad that I can't really afford to do film that much right now; but I found a really nice set of presets for Lightroom (historiclandscape...m-presets-for-lightroom/) that replicate various Ilford black and white films (my favourite so far). This one is replicating Delta 400, and I think so far that's my favourite look - although I have shot with HP5 and I love it, so I'll probably use that one in the near future.

Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
Having a good time
Got to come along
What got us this far
To this mild equator?
Outskirts of the city
You and I
We need someone new
Something new
Something else to get us through
Better bring your gun
Better bring your gun
Tropic corridor
Tropic treasure
We're going to ride and have some fun
When all else fails
We can whip the horse's eyes
And make them sleep
And cry
- Jim Morrison / John Paul Densmore / Robert A Krieger / Raymond D Manzarek
